In unix terms, a subversion copy is a hardlink: extremly cheap. So
subversion doesn't have tags/branches, but just copies as they are so
cheap. So subversion is much more like a unix file system: hardlinks
but no metadata like tags; only revisions and comments.

Just curious - Why don't people who want to look at previous
versions just check out the current tree with a given tag for a
previous release? I know CVS better than subversion, but that is
what I've always seen in past projects. It seems to me like this
new release tree just introduces redundant mechanism (which I
always find confusing).
Thanks for the info,
